Are you using LinkedIn to grow your practice? Many of our clients and non-clients are having success with it. In case you are not familiar with it, LinkedIn is a free, business-oriented social network launched in 2003. It has over 50 million users!

Using its Facebook-like method of building a personal network, Linkedin can be used to connect with other like-minded people in our profession and publicize your practice. Another useful aspect of Linkedin are the many specialized groups that members often create. These groups become great forums for sharing information and referrals.

One such LinkedIn group in our profession is called Bisnar's Lawyer Marketing Mastermind Group, which is a place for attorneys to ask marketing and management questions and share ideas. Many of our clients have joined this group to benefit from the content and discussions there. The group was founded by noted southern California attorney John Bisnar. John's group has over 300 members all around the country who learn from each others ideas and discussions.

You need to join LinkedIn to request to be connected. So, if you are not already a LinkedIn participant, I suggest you get started today. And if you do, feel free to add me to your network. My LinkedIn profile is here http://www.linkedin.com/in/dantaussig.
